RFK Jr. desk

Recently we were asked to be a part of the Kennedy Green House project by providing Robert Kennedy Jr. a desk for his library. The house; a 1920′s colonial was completely redesigned to utilize the latest in “green” technology to achieve a LEED certification .   In keeping with the eco-conscious  theme Greg designed a desk that was classically constructed with mortise and tenon with lumber core under veneer panels  using not only reclaimed Oak lumber and FSC certified  materials but also salvaged antique drawer pulls, and hinges in addition to an  environmentally responsible waterborne finish.  Picking up on the passions of RFK Jr; display for  arrowheads, hand carved feathers and arrows were incorporated into the design. The house progress can be tracked here-  http://www.kennedygreenhouse.com/index.php Following are a few photographs during the construction and carving by our own in house master artisan Evangelos Zisopolous. Stay tuned for more updates.
